We believe as a church grows in numbers it can still feel small. That happens in what we have made a core ministry at element, and that is LIFE GROUPS.
Life Groups are small communities of people gathered to encourage each other and grow together in life! This is where DEEP ministry takes place. We believe that everyone involved in church should be in a life group. They are key to our spiritual healthiness.
We have several life groups available by clicking on “join a life group”, and if we don’t have one for you, we have a great process to walk you thru in helping you start one.
If you have any questions about our life group ministry, please contact Pastor Jason Duda at jason@elementweb.net. |
The mission of Life Groups is to connect people with the life in Christ, the life of Element Church, and to life with each other.
Our vision is that by connecting people, they will become a part of our family where they can be loved, accepted, challenged, and equipped.
